Coordinating Planning Agents for Moderately and Tightly-Coupled Tasks
In many task-planning domains, dynamic assemblies of autonomous agents are replacing hierarchical organisations because they promise more agility. In such assemblies, interdepende...

Design Patterns for Decentralised Coordination in Self-organising Emergent Systems
There is little or no guidance to systematically design a self-organising emergent solution that achieves the desired macroscopic behaviour. This paper describes decentralised coor...

The effect of task and environment factors on M.A.S. coordination and reorganization
Research on organization of Multi-Agent Systems (M.A.S.) has shown that by adapting its organization, a M.A.S. is better able to operate in dynamic environments. In this paper we ...
